Dutch Iris Discovery Purple
M5637
Dutch Iris Discovery Purple boasts deep, velvety purple petals adorned with a striking golden-orange blotch on the falls. This rich and regal bloom commands attention, its intense colour creating a powerful visual impact.
Ideal for adding depth and contrast to garden beds or floral arrangements, this variety captivates with dramatic presence and luxuriant hues. Iris Discovery Purple transforms your garden into a realm of opulent beauty.
Care Guide
Cultivate Dutch Iris in a sunny area of the garden with free-draining soil.
Plant the teardrop bulbs in autumn with their pointy tips facing up, 10-15cm deep and 15cm apart in the soil. For best effect, grow in large groups.
Silky flowers in vibrant hues bloom during June and July on stems 50-95cm tall. Excellent for cutting. Leave some foliage behind to die back naturally and feed the bulb for next year’s flowers.
Bulbs will naturalise easily when left undisturbed in a warm, dry location.
